World map threads. Just showing off some of your favorite world maps.

Also replaying it after 30 years when I was 5 I am just realizing how much DQ3 is the real world. I got the towns where based on real world places but never seen a picture of the world map until playing the SNES version and seeing the map fully.

Maybe it's me being an idiot but what is with Gaia's Navel being in a few Japanese games? Dragon Quest, Mana, Chrono Cross. Just seem weird since I don't remember Greek Myth having anything to do with her navel. Even weirder they are always in the corner of the world not the center.

the second island in 3d VC was horribly designed. half of it was empty space, and the skyscraper area felt completely empty and lifeless.
all in all the first island had decent design, but beach was way too large.

personally I just wish Anywhere City would get a 3d revisit.
